Loved ones of Erinn Beames pay tribute to awesome woman

Erinn Beames lived most of her life between Emerald and Tieri, attending Emerald State High and building her family and career in Tieri.

Family and friends gathered on Cooee Beach at Yeppoon earlier this month in memory of loving wife and mother-of-three, Erinn Beames.

The service was held on Friday, January 13, after Erinn died peacefully in Emerald Hospital on January 4, at the young age of 39.

“Myself and many others who were in your corner have lost one of the best people to walk this earth,” Alexandra Gusterson said in a Facebook tribute.

Erinn lived most of her life between Emerald and Tieri, attending Emerald State High School and building her family and career in Tieri.

“From 2018, she worked as a health and safety coordinator for Glencore in Tieri, and before that she worked as a branch manager for Queensland Country Credit Union for almost seven years.

“Goodbye Mum. I love you so much, I couldn’t have asked for a better mother and Gigi to Kyson,” Mackenzie wrote in a Facebook tribute to her mum.

On Erinn’s Facebook page, she would often share powerful quotes about perseverance, kindness and love.

“Grief is the price we pay for love,” she shared in a post last year in remembrance of Queen Elizabeth, but it relates to the impact of her passing on the many people she has touched over her life.
